Date of Birth

Date of Birth (DOB)

• Age is part of the patient demographic information that we collect.

• A patient's age is calculated as a difference between the DOB and the admission date in our database. The age of the last birthday prior to or same as the admission date is considered (eg. FLOOR function is used).
• The calculated occurs when data sent from the Laptop and is uploaded to the master Critical Care or Medicine database.

• Age is part of the APACHE II score for Critical Care and MOST score used in Medicine.

Data Integrity Rule

The minimum age allowed is 10, the maximum age allowed is 107. If the data of birth would lead to a patient age outside of this range, the CCMDB.mdb will not allow you to send.
